Meet the Main Characters
A vibrant 29-year-old marketing professional with a past as a Division I athlete. But life isn't all smooth for her—ADHD keeps things interesting, and a string of tragedies and parental trauma has left her wary. Now in a new city, she stumbles into a living arrangement with a tight-knit group of lifelong friends, all men.
Amidst this unconventional setup, Alexis embarks on a journey of self-discovery, guided by her mantra: better to regret what you've done than what you haven't. As she navigates this new chapter, she uncovers hidden facets of herself and the men in her life, leading to unexpected and unconventional twists in her romantic quest.
The quintessential corporate salesman, closely working with Alexis in the fast-paced world of business. Beyond the boardroom, he's a dedicated single dad to six-year-old Ana, his pride and joy. While he's fiercely and physically protective of those he loves, Carter's not one to cling—his spirit thrives on spontaneity and adventure. With a wild streak and an open heart, he's ready to dive headfirst into a new and unconventional way of life, balancing his responsibilities with a zest for new experiences.
The epitome of emotional intelligence wrapped in a fiercely protective and generous exterior. As a CFO, he's not just a founding partner alongside CEO Jeremiah but also the financial mastermind behind the thriving software firm where Alexis, Carter, and Shawn ply their trade. Behind his success lies a poignant tale—raised by nannies in the shadow of indifferent parents, Ethan's trust fund affluence contrasts sharply with his lack of familial connection. This upbringing has steered him away from the conventional path of marriage and parenthood as he guards his heart against the emotional complexities he knows all too well.
The anomaly among his peers who chose the medical realm over a business path. Inspired by his mother's battle with chronic illness, Holden's journey into medicine has honed his empathy to a razor's edge. Amidst the pace of a bustling intensive care unit, he walks the tightrope of emotion and detachment with practiced precision. Yet, even his resilient spirit falters under the weight of the emotional toll this high-stakes career exacts. His yearning for a picture-perfect nuclear family and the idyllic promise of a white picket fence means he finds himself grappling with the unconventional realities of the world he's learning to embrace.
The driving force behind the software firm he co-founded with Ethan. As CEO, he's accustomed to wielding influence and commanding respect, a man who's accustomed to having almost anything he wants at his command. Beneath his assertive exterior lies a wellspring of empathy and wisdom that belies his years, earning him the role of a paternal figure within his circle. As Alexis's boss, their dynamic blurs the lines between professional boundaries and personal connections, creating a delicate balance of power and intimacy that fuels their interactions both in and out of the bedroom. Despite typically embodying unshakeable stability among his peers, Alexis's influence transforms him into an unpredictable wildcard within the group.
The gentle introvert whose brilliance fuels the software development and internet technology realms under Jeremiah's leadership. Outside the confines of work, he finds solace in the fantastical worlds of video games, movies, and TV shows, particularly those in the science-fiction genre. Alexis's unexpected shared interests pierce through his reserved exterior, allowing her to weave her way into his nerdy heart with ease. Despite his penchant for solitude, Shawn harbors a profound connection to his parents, anchoring him amidst life's complexities. In the friend group, he embodies the loyal and affectionate spirit of a golden retriever, his warmth and reliability endearing him to everyone that knows him.
